    About This Episode

    In this chaotic episode of Bumperpodcast, Aloysious J. Pig takes over hosting duties because Natty Bumpercar is "under the weather." Pig attempts to keep Bumpercar away from the microphone while revealing to listeners that he may have accidentally poisoned his co-host with tainted food. When Bumpercar stumbles in mid-recording, an uncomfortable confrontation ensues about the suspicious meal. The episode also features discussion about the show's marketing failures, including the "Bumperpodcast Caters" (their name for listeners) and Socks the dog's mismanagement of the marketing budget. Tensions rise as Pig cryptically tells Bumpercar he "cannot handle the truth."

    About This Episode

    In this rainy day episode of Bumperpodcast, host Natty Bumpercar reflects on why life has been so chaotic lately that he ate a potato chip with the map to headquarters drawn on it. After contemplating the absurdity of taking a trip to his stomach to retrieve the map, Natty abandons the idea as "silly town" territory. He then launches into a humorous rant about the downpour, imagining clouds giving up on carrying water, and being scolded by a tiny bumper car for forgetting his umbrella. Natty boasts about his ability to "dazzle" and dodge raindrops, though he admits he usually finds rain cleansing—except when it ruins his freshly styled hair.

    Bumperpodcast # 160 – Try, try some more

    Here in Headquarters, everyone is lost and running into walls and spinning around in circles … We make an attempt to jump headfirst back into the waters and end up with a giant bonk on our nose.

    Again, we have a guest host and bedlam and chaos and a bunch of sillies.

    How do you feel about bedlam? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.

    There is chaos all around!

    The Bumperpodcast is a free weekly comedy podcast with squeaky clean laughs and jumbles!

    About This Episode

    In this chaotic episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar is absent and Rufus T. Rufus attempts to host with an unusual helper – a young child who isn't particularly interested in cooperating. The little guest repeatedly asks for various characters including "daddy bumper car" and Aloysious J. Pig, while refusing to talk on air. Producer tries to maintain order as Rufus struggles with the challenging co-host situation. When Pig finally arrives, he breaks down the podcast's quality into negative numbers before the young helper goes silent again. This episode showcases the unpredictable and improvisational nature of Bumperpodcast at its most delightfully disastrous.

    Memorable Quotes

    “It's like a broken window that's getting broken up even more.”

    — Rufus T. Rufus

    “I remember when this podcast had absolutely nothing going for it, and now it's got even less. Somehow it went from zero to negative zero.”

    — Aloysious J. Pig

    “Hey, you guys are not doing a very good…”

    Bumperpodcast # 159 – At a loss

    Continuing in my sporadic spiral of crumbling … I present to you a new Bumperpodcast that has a guest host who needs to learn a thing or two about not touching the microphone.

    And – with that … I digress.

    Do you digress? Let us know by sending an email to bumperpodcast@nattybumpercar.com.

    People should not be distressed about a digress!


    About This Episode

    In this chaotic and heartwarming episode of Bumperpodcast, Natty Bumpercar attempts to record with an unusual guest host – a very young child who doesn't quite grasp podcasting yet. With headquarters overrun by children and Producer absent (stuck in the computer), Natty struggles to maintain control as his pint-sized co-host learns about microphones and windscreens. Between managing the energetic toddler and explaining podcast basics, Natty shares updates about the new baby in the house using his signature absurdist humor, including a memorable riff about a baby drinking his "milkshake" (his life). The episode captures the beautiful mess of parenting meeting podcasting, with Natty gamely comparing his young helper's hosting skills to previous Bumperpodcast guests like Robot and Moth the Sheep.

    Memorable Quotes

    “My life was a milkshake the baby had a straw he was across the room and he was eating it up… he intimidated me with his straw and said something along the lines of daddy i'm going to drink your milkshake”

    — Natty Bumpercar

    “You even with the silly talk sound better than robot ever did so that's that's a plus you're not as good of a host as moth the sheep but you're you know you're right in there right in the middle”

    About This Episode

    Natty Bumpercar introduces his latest fashion trend in this hilarious episode of Bumperpodcast. After receiving feedback about last week's episode, Natty decides to keep things focused by discussing his new rubber band bracelet collection. The orange rubber band from a grocery store container leads to the formation of an impromptu "rubber band club" with Tiny Bumpercar, who sports a yellow one. When a green rubber band is discovered on the floor, things get complicated as Natty struggles with whether to expand beyond citrus colors. The episode takes a turn as Natty reveals the ongoing drama about the abandoned green rubber band and his current status as the sole remaining member of the rubber band gang.
